Gen2: CubeADCS Core

Vendor profile

Overview

With over 200 systems delivered and counting, our CubeADCS system just got even better. We have applied the lessons we learned over the last 9 years; and the trends that we have seen in the industry, to make what we believe is the perfect turn-key ADCS solution. We made it flexible so that it can adapt to your satellite mechanics and electronics, robust so that it can easily survive any launch and operate seamlessly in orbit, and scalable both in performance and in size so that all missions are covered.

The main features of our Gen2 CubeADCS include:
• Simple API
• Reprogrammable in orbit
• It has a standardized family of connectors and
• Customizable interfaces
• It has multiple control modes to meet any mission requirement
• It is scalable across all satellite sizes

Our control modes can typically be split into three main categories, which is achievable with our modular system:
1. Spin-pointing satellite
2. Momentum stabilizing Earth pointing
3. Ground or orbit target tracking
